The Turkey Toe Library
Purpose
This is a digital archive and storytelling hub guiding the vision, design, partnerships, and spirit of the grounds at Turkey Toe Golf Retreat. It is a living reference point where golf, family, friendship, craft, and the Spirit of the Old West converge.
This library exists to:
-
Guide the physical layout of the land and the on-site library
-
Align partners, designers, engineers, and storytellers — collectively referred to as the Art of Construction Master Facilitators - built from the podcast kindling - Not the MFers you think of in Construction!
-
Anchor all golf development to mission, culture, and fun for Entrepreneurs of all levels
-
Preserve lineage—from the Old West to modern Dream Golf
Mission Alignment:
A place to strengthen families and friendships, have as much fun as possible, and maintain the spirit of the OLD WEST.
The Lineage of the West
Greg Gebben — The Original Wancher
Greg Gebben represents the roots: the wanch, the land, and the truth of the West. His chapter anchors the Library in authenticity—where work ethic, humor, grit, and hospitality coexist. This section will eventually reference:
-
Old-time Western stories and artifacts
-
The evolution from working cowboy to modern “pimp cowboy.”
-
The ethic of stewardship over land and people
The physical library will house tactile references—books, photos, tools, and memorabilia—mirrored here digitally.
Here are some recent inspiration photos from Greg to guide the vision:
The Modern West & Dream Golf
Devon Tilly — Steward, Connector, Instigator
Devon Tilly carries the West forward, blending tradition with joy, design, and partnership. Influenced by Dream Golf and the Keiser philosophy (Bandon Dunes), this chapter emphasizes:
-
Fun as a serious discipline
-
Golf as community, not commodity
Turkey Toe Links is not copying Dream Golf—it is translating it into Colorado soil and Western culture.
The Art of Construction — Master Facilitators
The Art of Construction (AOC) Master Facilitators form the intellectual and cultural backbone of the project. This Library honors all AOC MFers through collective leadership under Devon Tilly.
Their role:
-
Facilitate alignment across disciplines
-
Translate vision into a buildable reality
-
Hold culture as tightly as budget and schedule

This Library becomes the shared language for architects, engineers, builders, storytellers, and partners.
Partner Manifesto
Partners of Turkey Toe are not vendors — they are stewards of land, story, and experience.
We partner with people and organizations who:
-
Put culture before contracts and relationships before transactions
-
Respect the land and honor the lineage of the Old West while building for future generations
-
Believe golf is a connector — between families, friends, and communities
-
Value fun, humility, craft, and long walks over ego and excess
-
Are willing to contribute in kind and in spirit, not just in scope and invoice
If you are here to build something meaningful, lasting, and joyful — you are our kind of partner.
What We Don’t Do
We don’t chase trends, overbuild for ego, rush decisions that deserve walking the land, or partner with people who put extraction before contribution. We don’t believe golf is about excess, exclusivity, or optimization at the expense of soul. We don’t separate fun from professionalism, story from engineering, or culture from cost. If the work forgets the people, the land, or the joy — we stop and reset.
Hopeful Proven Partners
Wanch Golf & Dream Golf Alignment
Official and aligned golf partners who share the walking-first, experience-driven ethos:
These relationships reinforce Turkey Toe as part of a broader Dream Golf–inspired ecosystem.

The Library is incomplete without a story. Below is a list of research and conversations to align the Master Facilitators who are right for this project.

This is a basic rendering for the feel of the space where you can relax as a lifelong learner!
Workign to get all the right spots dialed in for the clubhouse that serves as the central gathering space to refresh and relax for the glampers, golfers, and adventure seekers all coming together!
